Janus the magazine had a big impression on me.
I can remember discovering the magazine in a small shop near my college digs in a Scottish city where I was at college. I could not believe what I was reading when I picked it up of the shelf. Spanking stories, directoire knickers being opened to presenta bare bottom for the birch,young ladies being caned and the very occasional man over a woman's knee. I remember the letters page in particular giving great insight into spanking amongst others.
I purchased the magazine every month for the hour years I was in Scotland. I even showed issues to some of my girlfriends when I was try to encourage them to let me give them a spanking. The nice thing was you could take the last magazine purchased back to shop and get a discount on the next issue. I kept two or three of my favourites at any one time and I had to be very careful where I hid them as I moved from one accommodation to another.
I can remember at least one occasion when I think my landlady must have seen them when she was doing repairs to the house, but nothing was said. I think my face reddened when I saw her the next day.
When I moved to London the Janus magazines became a larger size and there were a lot more photos.
The price went up but it was still very affordable with the 50% refund when you took the last issue back to the shop on Old Compton Street.

Over time the price went up but satisfaction was always guaranteed. Hey ho happy days.
